 Love my Garmin Nuvi 760 October 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I own an older Garmin and upgraded to the newer version. This new one has great features and is very easy to use. Compact and light weight for hand held travel use. Indespensible on our cross country car trip while driving and sight seeing on foot. The Attractions feature is great for finding things to do in the area. Would highly reccomend purchasing this GPS system.
 Looks great on paper, not so much in the real world. October 15, 2008

This is my first GPS unit. I read a lot of reviews about many brands and models, and thought this would be the PERFECT unit....feature packed, and a well-known highly regarded brand. But unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do all that it does very well.
I made 3 trips today using the unit, only one of them being successful in my book...the first 2 trips took me on a circuitous journey through my suburban area, simple trips made much more complicated than they should have been. If I didn't know where I was going, I would have never noticed, not knowing any better. I changed the setting from "Faster Time" to "Shorter Distance" for my 3rd trip today, and it took me where I wanted to go and back again on my usual route. I used reverse-logic, since "Faster time" took me farther out of my way and made me late for a doctor's appointment.
On my first strangely-routed trip, I went to an office supply store to get an 8GB SD card (nice that it can take any size SD card with the newest software upgrade) so I could load it up with music and play it through my car stereo with the built-in FM transmitter. It sounds like I'm listening to really poor distant radio stations, not my clear digital music, even switching through all my station choices on my 10 mile trip to find a clear one. And if you drive for a few miles, you lose that signal, so you have to go to another station. Not a good idea while driving! You have to change the station on the GPS unit, and then on your car stereo each time. So that's a waste of time and money right there.
I also made a call using the Bluetooth option and the built-in speaker/microphone. I just had to hang up on the person I called because I couldn't hear him, and he said I sounded like I was in the car on the highway with all the windows down (they were up, volume was all the way up, and the stereo was off...I gave up on that earlier). I've read that if you get the optional microphone you sound better to the person you called, but I still won't be able to hear them, so there's another useless feature. I could put it through the FM-transmitter and over my car speakers so it would be louder, but I already know that that's not going to work. If I had an aux input on my car stereo, and added yet another wire to dangle off the unit, it would sound great, I'm told.
I will use it a bit longer and try the GPS-only features before I return it. I'm probably going to end up with a much less expensive unit that only does GPS, because right now I just have a very expensive trip-lengthening digital picture frame with a calculator in it.
I feel I have to add something positive....the screen is beautiful, looked good during the day and at night, and the touch-screen is a pleasure to use. The wide screen makes for very comfortable typing. If you don't know where you're going, you won't know you're going out of your way, so this may be the unit for you! Nice and thin, sturdy build, no protruding antenna...it looks fantastic. And obviously there are a lot of satisfied customers on here that love it.
Excellent GPS.... October 15, 2008

I bought this GPS after doing lots of research, But i'm very happy with my new 760, very easy to use, and very cute.. I would say its worth what i paid for this...
My experience with Garmin750 October 14, 2008
Have not used it a lot yet, I find the menus very primitive compared to a cell phone.
Can't review the route. Doesn't recognize US-131 highway. Difficult to add intermediate stops or intersections.
Expected much more.
Garmin Nuvi 760 October 14, 2008
Easy to set up and very easy to use. I have also used it to listen to audio books. Good sound - not like an IPOD, but good. Very easy to move from one vehicle to the other. I would recommend this to others looking for a navigation system.
